For companies, startups & institutions
Clear formats, fresh perspectives, structured analysis: we support organizations — from startups to SMEs — across digitalization, go-to-market, pricing, sustainability, and process challenges.
What we offer
Hands-on collaboration with a clear scope — as a workshop, case study, or project work with tangible outcomes.
Digitalization & implementation
Digital quick-checks, tool and process analysis, and pragmatic implementation roadmaps — to make change feasible, not theoretical.
Market, go-to-market & positioning
Sharpen your target audience/ICP, structure the competitive landscape, and build an actionable go-to-market plan — especially relevant for startups, but equally useful for new offerings in SMEs and institutions.
Marketing & growth
Messaging, channel strategy, and funnel logic — including a prioritized action plan and measurable checkpoints.
Sustainability
Approaches for sustainable practices and credible communication — aligned with your context, without empty claims.
Finance & pricing
Unit economics/KPIs, budgeting logic, and pricing strategy & packaging — to support cleaner decisions for growth and stability.
Process optimization
Map workflows, identify bottlenecks, and define pragmatic improvements — for efficiency and clear ownership.
Why work with CIG?

Students from different backgrounds combine perspectives — valuable for complex, cross-functional challenges.

Close to current methods
Work grounded in modern tools and frameworks from the university context — clearly documented and traceable.
Flexible formats
Workshop, case study, or project work: scope and timeline are defined together — with regular updates.
Transparent & cost-efficient
As a non-profit, volunteer-based initiative, we’re not profit-driven — scope is clear and effort is transparent.
